Colocated Server Configuration

General

- label computer with your system "handle" (as assigned by Intuix LLC) on front and on the back; add mac address of primary (internet) interface, if you have it available; for example: "handle - mac ab:cd:ef:12:34:56"

- optionally add label with your company name and contact information

- label network ports especially if manufacturer labeling is wrong

- if you have multiple drives - please label each drive with your system handle and drive #, i.e. "handleA disk#1"

BIOS Configuration 

* enable USB support and Legacy USB support, so we can use USB keyboards
* ignore POST errors (especially keyboard, floppy, etc)
* set "Power loss" mode to "Stay on"
* enable BIOS console redirection if available: 
   * COM1 (COM A)
   * Speed: 9600 baud
   * Console type: VT100, 8bit
   * Flow control: none
   * Connection type: direct connection
   * Continue redirection after boot: yet (sometimes also called "Run Agent after boot")

We can accommodate different speeds for serial console; above are default settings.

OS configuration 

* turn on OS serial console on serial port 1, with settings as above
